C-201 ELECTRICAL SSYSTEMS 1 SACA
CERTIFICATION QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 100% CORRECT
can you define and test a ground? - ANSWER-a ground is a point in the circuit that is
connected to the earth. you can use a multimeter-If the resistance is too high, it may
indicate that the ground connection is not providing adequate protection
electrical safety rules - ANSWER-1.Always use a circuit tester or voltage detector to
check that a circuit is de-energized before working on it.
electrical safety rule - ANSWER-Never touch electrical wiring or equipment with wet
hands or while standing on a wet surface.
electrical safety rule - ANSWER-Do not operate electrical equipment that is damaged,
frayed, or otherwise in poor condition.
electrical safety rule - ANSWER-Use the correct fuse or circuit breaker for the circuit
you are working on.
electrical safety rule - ANSWER-Never remove or bypass the grounding prong on a
plug.
Electrical Safety - ANSWER-Do not use extension cords or multiple outlet adapters that
are not rated for the equipment you are using.
electrical safety - ANSWER-Do not overload circuits by plugging in too many devices or
using high-powered equipment.
electrical safety - ANSWER-Do not use electrical equipment in wet or damp conditions
unless it is specifically designed for that purpose.
electrical safety - ANSWER-Use properly rated and properly installed surge protectors
for sensitive electronic equipment.
electrical safety - ANSWER-Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for using
electrical equipment.
purpose of lockout tag out - ANSWER-to prevent unexpected energization or startup of
machinery or equipment while it is being serviced or repaired.
state the two types of electrical current - ANSWER-AC and DC
, how to use a circuit tester - ANSWER-To test a circuit, first locate the circuit breaker or
fuse that controls the circuit you want to test. Then, using the circuit tester, touch the red
probe to the live wire and the black probe to the neutral or ground wire.
what is a power source - ANSWER-The power source is the source of electrical energy
for the circuit. It can be a battery, a generator, or a power outlet. The power source
provides the electrical current that flows through the circuit.
knife switch - ANSWER-a type of manually-operated electrical switch that is used to
make and break electrical circuits. It has a hinged blade that is used to open and close
the contacts of the switch, allowing the flow of electricity to be controlled.
push button switch - ANSWER-a type of manual switch operator that is actuated by
pressing a button. When the button is pressed, the switch is turned on, and when it is
pressed again, the switch is turned off.
selector switch - ANSWER-a type of manual switch operator that allows the user to
select one of several different circuit paths or positions. It is typically actuated by a lever
or knob that can be rotated or moved to different positions, each of which corresponds
to a different circuit path or function.
explain the function of five types of output devices: resistor - ANSWER-a passive
electronic component that resists the flow of electric current, reducing the voltage and
current in a circuit.
what is a conductor - ANSWER-The conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow
through it, such as a wire. The conductor carries the electrical current from the power
source to the load.
what is a load - ANSWER-The load is the device or appliance that is being powered by
the circuit. It can be a light bulb, a motor, or any other device that uses electricity. The
load converts the electrical energy from the circuit into some other form of energy, such
as light or motion.
what is a switch - ANSWER-The switch is a device that is used to control the flow of
electrical current in the circuit. It can be used to turn the circuit on or off, allowing the
load to be powered or de-powered as needed.
two types of power supplies and schematic symbol - ANSWER-AC and DC
be able to interperate an electrical schematic which includes symbols - ANSWER-on
youtube look up engineering mindset- Single Phase Electricity Explained - wiring
diagram energy meter
resistor symbol - ANSWER-
